Lake Como is located in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. It is the third biggest lake in the country with an area of 146 km2 and depth of 410 m, making it one of the deepest lakes on the continent. Lake Como was formed by a glacier during the last ice age. The town of Colico is located at the northernmost end, and the towns of Lecco and Como are located on the southern shores. A boat service operates between the small resort towns of Varenna, Menaggio and Bellagio, located at the meeting point of the three arms of the lake. Como is fed primarily by the Adda River, which flows into the lake at the northern end and exits it at Lecco.
